Our verdict on vDeskWorks
vDeskWorks provides hosted Windows desktops and virtual desktop infrastructure for businesses with distributed teams. Users can reach desktops and applications through an HTML5 web client or supported devices, while administrators publish and manage desktop fleets centrally. Persistent profiles, session resume, and applications that continue after disconnect suit teams that need a continuing desktop session, including small teams, call centers, contractors, and IT groups. Its verified desktop environment is Windows, so organizations seeking a different virtual desktop OS should look elsewhere.
The feature set is focused on continuity and administration. Active Directory integration and multi-factor authentication support identity controls, while RDP v10, peripheral and local storage redirection, daily backups, and restore capabilities address access and data recovery needs. GPU-enabled virtual desktop options are available. vDeskWorks lists cloud and self-hosted deployment, with hybrid identified as its hosted deployment model; Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services are named integrations. This may fit organizations already working with those platforms, but the available information does not establish broader ecosystem coverage.
According to the vendor's listed pricing, vDesk Standard is $59.95 per license per month, billed annually, and includes a managed cloud desktop, Windows environment, and expandable shared team storage. vDesk Power is $85 per license per month, billed annually, adding more computing power, online file storage, and installation of select approved applications. vDesk Pro costs $125 per license per month, billed annually, with dedicated resources, configurable power and storage, and application and tool installation. The Enterprise Package has customizable hardware and storage and unmetered bandwidth; buyers contact the vendor. Ticket, chat, and email support are listed, along with 24/7 availability. Teams needing persistent Windows sessions and centralized controls should consider it; those requiring another desktop OS or a free option should choose an alternative.
